Party Animal asked:


I try making coffee, but it always taste like crap. How much coffee should I use on my coffee maker?

smilesvssmirks asked:


I don’t want a really strong coffee flavor. On the box mix for the chocolate cake it calls for 1 and 1/3 cup water. Couldn’t I just dissolve a bit of instant coffee/espresso powder into the water to give the cupcakes a hint of the coffee flavor and kick? Or would that mess with the chemicals and the way the wet and dry ingredients react together?

PJ asked:


I want to mix up my dry ingredients and butter, then refrigerate that and mix the wet stuff in and bake the coffee cake Saturday while camping. Will that work okay?
The recipe calls for cold butter, not melted.

RK asked:


A recipe calls for 2 teaspoons of instant coffee but I only have regular coffee and don’t want to buy a whole can of instant for only 2 teaspoons. Can I use the regular coffee as a substitute?

rockability asked:


Whenever I make coffee it comes out to be either bitter tasting, or tasteless or too strong. Even if I buy starbucks coffees they won’t come out the same at home.

What am I doing wrong? The biggest nuisance is that my coffee often has a bitter taste.
